PIC Simulator Studio

A PIC microcontroller, short for Peripheral Interface Controller, is a small electrical integrated circuit that incorporates a microprocessor and can be used anywhere from building simple day to day devices all the way up to small robots or remote control vehicles.

PIC Simulator Studio is a comprehensive and advanced piece of software that provides you with a set of useful tools and an appropriate environment for simulating applications for Microchip PIC microcontrollers.

Before anything else, you should know that the application comes with support for a broad range of PIC controllers (PIC10F200, PIC10F202, PIC10F204, PIC10F206, PIC10F220, PIC10F222, PIC12F508, PIC12F509, PIC510, PIC16F54, PIC16F57 and PIC16F59.

The application undergoes a typical installation process and features a slightly outdated yet well-organized user interface. As surprising as it may sound, working with PIC Simulator Studio is actually quite a straightforward process.

Within its main window, the application packs a small menu bar, a useful toolbar and all its specialized and self-explanatory tools within individual sub-windows.

The first visual components that stand out are also the most important ones, the Devices editor and the Assembler editor, both with their resizable panels. The workspace is completed by small-sized tools like the Counters and Instructions, Hardware Timers and Stack, Special Function Registers and General Purpose Registers.

Since the application enables you to run your simulations, you can interact with your project by tweaking certain parameters and viewing the results in real time. Noteworthy is the fact that the application supports the following simulated modules: Timer0, ADC module, Comparator module, GPI, PORTS (A-E) and Banking.

Please note that you can also create your own tools to properly fit your complex simulations using the existing ones as a starting point. Last but not least, the utility comes with a small set of samples, that is enough to help you get acquainted with the main features and functionality.

PIC Simulator Studio is a useful and efficient tool that allows you to create electrical applications that imply the usage of PIC microcontrollers, simulate the operations and easily find where the cause of possible problems reside.
